The sun rises and then it setsAs another day passes bywhile we carry on with livingSomethings missing from our livesthe laughter of a wee, small childAs he discovers something newThe joy expressed upon his faceThe joy that, Trenton, is youWe only have to cling to hopeAnd lift our prayers in faiththat you are safe and sound this nightand will be back home one dayNever fear sweet little boyYou are always in God's careAnd while you are not here at homeHe is watching over you thereSo, dear Lord, we pray to YouPlease bring this precious child homeGuide the law enforcement officersAs they seek to bring Trenton back to us.

Where on earthm are you nowMy lover, mate and friendI sit tonight and think of youPraying for you yet againI wonder when the day will comeWhen we'll finally meetWhen in His timing God will chooseTo reveal your name to meSometimes I get impatientLooking at each man I seeInstantly my heart cries outIs that him O LordThe one You made for me?I hunger for the coming dayWhen I become your wifeWhen we stand before God aboveAnd began our brand new lifeWhere on earth are you nowWhen will our paths be crossedMay the day come quick that we meetAnd not another second together be lost.

I'm busy preparing a place for youTo live eternallyWhere you will struggle not one more timeAs you worship at my feet

One day our lives will be overOur earthly bodies goneWe'll walk through gates made of pearlAnd hear "Well done! Welcome Home!"

All of God's creation on earth and sky and seaAre marvelously made and most wonderful indeedBut there is one creation that stands out for all to seeShe's the lady of God - a lady who is in waitingShe goes about her dayWith a kind and gentle spiritHer hands and mind are never idleShe's about God's work minute by minuteYou can find her aptly describedIn God's most Holy BookFor Proverbs chapter 31We find what she should doThe lady is above all thingsA daughter of the KingThe day she joined the Bride of ChristIs when she became a lady in waitingWaiting for her Prince Of PeaceTo come and take her awayTo live with Him in HeavenFor that eternal day.

How many times in lifeDo we find ourselves thankfulThat we came alongJust one second later

A tragedy or catastrophe occursWhere many lives are lostYet we are spared by coming alongJust one second later

Do we take for grantedThe angels who our path delayedSo we could be spared to live on earthIf only for one more day

Yet every Sunday morningIn the churches of our worldPeople make a choice to not go forwardWaiting just one second more

Please my friend do not beLike those who procrastinateAccept the gift in Jesus ChristBefore it is too late

For one day a trumpet will soundThe skies will split wide openJesus will come back to earthTo take His Bride to Heaven

Then in that day if you've not askedJesus in your heart to resideYou'll find that you decided to wailThe saddest second of your life

I wrote this poem in August 2006. On Saturday 8/5/2006 a family was in an accident on I-4 near the Polk City exit. Two of their 3 children were killed in the accident. I had spent a few minutes talking to a friend in the parking lot after work. Had I not taken those seconds which are now so precious to me, I would more than likely have been involved in the accident.

Although I may be the only person in a roomI am never aloneWhile I sit in the silence with noone to talk toI am never aloneWhat to some may seem to be a time of lonliness and boredomTo me is a time of reflection and prayerWhat to some is an unending deafening silenceTo me is unending adoration and praiseFor you see when all my earthly friends walk outGod and his angels walk inAnd when the noise of this world has been silenceIt's God's still small voice I hearIt's in these times with noone aroundI lift my heart and voice in songPraise you Father for your gift of JesusFor with Him I am never alone.

Thru tear stained eyes they watchAs their precious loved on slips awayFrom life upon this sinful earthTo the blessed land of eternal dayIt's hard for them to let goOf this one they hold so dearAlthough they know she's better offThey selfishly want them hereTo humans death seems finalAn ending not happy but sadBut this is only partially trueIt depends upon the lifestyle you've hadIf you've rejected the Son of GodAnd lived your life to please only selfYou will live for all eternityAnd ending that leads to HellBut if you've accepted God's precious giftYour heart can joyfully singFor when you breathe your final breathIt's not the end - life for you is just beginning
